Event Description

EBC and UIPI are pleased to invite you to the seminar “Retrofitting the private housing stock: Is the Juncker Plan a solution?”.

Construction SMEs and private property owners are fundamental elements of the vastly untapped potential to boost investment at the micro-economic level and at the same time to fulfil the EU requirements in terms of energy efficiency. The purpose of the event will be to grasp if and how the plan could be used to boost private investment in “small scale energy efficiency renovation”.

This seminar is part of a series of two roundtables about “Financing energy efficiency in private housing”.

Learn more about the role of polyurethane insulation in reducing the energy consump­tion of houses by 85% and how the passive house movement fits into the ongoing policy initiatives to create a more sustainable Europe.

he event is meant to raise awareness on the need to upscale the energy retrofitting of the existing Social Housing stock and the need for a policy framework to boost and facilitate changes at Member States level.

The debate around shale gas development in Europe remains in its infancy, however it is seen by many as a “game-changer” in terms of energy security, tackling climate change and in facilitating the development of renewables (as a best placed partner).

Renovating the existing EU building stock is a real economic opportunity for Europe. It is a revenue-generatingactivity which contributes to urban renewal, strengthens social cohesion, boosts economic growth by creating
